Nitroaniline
# Nitroaniline

The term nitroaniline in chemistry refers to a derivative of aniline $(C_6H_5NH_2)$ containing a nitro group $(—NO_2)$ There are three simple nitroanilines of formula $C_6H_4(NH_2)(NO_2)$ which differ only in the position of the nitro group:

* 2-Nitroaniline
* 3-Nitroaniline
* 4-Nitroaniline

Some more complicated molecules with other substituents can also be referred to as nitroanilines, for example 4-chloro-3-nitro-aniline.
